dramatic scenes as a tornado tears through taipei. we begin in northwest pakistan where at least 80 people have been killed in a double suicide bombing attack. the taliban is claiming responsibility for the blast which happened in northwest pakistan. they say the attack is revenge for the death of osama bin laden, many of those killed were new military recruits and this comes as the pakistan's army chief is due to address a closed session of parliament, pakistan's parliament today, where he will be questioned and will be answering questions about the u.s. raid that captured osama bin laden. of course, we'll bring you more on the story here on world one. but, now, the syrian government is bracing for another round of nationwide protests today. the government has been cracking down on demonstrations over the past two months in dahra, holmes, and other cities. we're looking at new video we found in tanks posted around the city of homes. a massive rally erupted late wednesday in the heart of syria's second largest city. the protesters plan another round of demonstrations today, with rallies expected across the country after friday prayers. cnn is not allowed to syria, so it is difficult for us to verify all of the stories and the video that's coming out of that country. we're joined by nadine poury, he's with group, human rights watch. thank you for being with us. we heard that the president had said that he was working on doing -- instituting reforms. but that was almost months ago. what's going on in that country? >> almost ground hog day. every thursday and every friday, the president had the promise of reforms. only to research it a few hours later. we heard the advisories yesterday that the news outlets hopefully they would allow it to go through today. this is our hope. this is what the protesters in syria hope for. and i hope that the security services will hold their fire. but after seven years of protest, that's not the experience. people go out, get shot at, people get detained. not seeing activists and protesters, the security services are seeing families of activists, activists have gone into hiding as a way to pressure them. >> people have been arrested and detained. as a result of this, there are many who say there isn't a possibility for a rational solution to this crisis. a rational solution that some would say would have to step down. a democratic political process. that's not even possible anymore. >> it's hard to say. clearly the main culprit here is the government. they chose -- they deliberately chose to use the military and security forces to crush the protest movement. if there's a lesson to take from places like tunisia, egypt, yemen, bahrain, that force against protesters only increases the art of protest and only makes it harder to find a compromise solution. authorities are putting themselves in the situation. it's their responsibility to stop the violence, start the investigation of more than 700 protesters have been killed. thousands of detainees, a vast majority of whom, have been tortured in detention. they broke the social contract with their people and they're coming around and saying we want to talk to you. when you talk to someone, shoot their brothers, detain their daughters, they don't want to talk to you. that's understandable. >> you want to take a look at the dramatic youtube video. thousands took to the street wednesday and started with anti-government slogans. more and more students joined in as the demonstrators marched through the campus and they swelled to several thousands. wondering at this point how significant is that demonstration? >> it's very important in two reasons. it's syria's second biggest city, as you mentioned. it has so far not joined the protests in any large numbers. now, two hours ago, i was speaking to a president. he was telling me that one of the main reasons they hasn't joined is every time protesters would start, civilian people would show up and start beating and attacking the protesters. so the equivalent of the attack that we saw in cairo a few months ago. and so that's one -- the factor that would mobilize and see large numbers. and secondly, the fact these are students. they started the protest from their dorm. i think it's also quite telling. because they haven't seen a massive mobilization of the students in syria. if they joined the protest movement, it would be one more challenge to the asset regime. >> nadim houry in beirut. thank you for your time. more on the top story in pakistan and the suicide attack where 80 people were killed in the region in northwest pakistan as the first major attack in that country since osama bin laden was killed ten days ago. cnn's nick payton walsh joins us with more on that. nick, we understand that the pakistani taliban have claimed responsibility. they sayt's in retaliation for the killing of's oles. but i'm curious to see why would they be targeting pakistan yis in this? >> well, i think it's clear in the pakistani taliban's mind, the security forces here are working with them in the fight against militants here. in their minds a target to take retaliation. a little bit of detail about how that happened. a complex attack. two suicide bombers apparently on motorcycles taking aim at buses or graduates from this -- from the training center, all about to go home briefly before going out to join the fight against militancy, the first bomb attacks, the buses, then as people rush out to deal with the many injured -- we're talking 80 dead here and 140 injured. the second on the motorcycle. and as you say, this is the worst single attack this year. as you say, the first for bin laden. the pakistani taliban saying it feels them that has cause add degree of doubt in the mind of some officials observing this, wondering whether or not it was possible to turn around and attack in a short period of time. whether or not it was them, the message is out there now with the blood being spilled in pakistan because of the operation to get bin lad b. >> could this be seen as vindication for the pakistani authorities who have been maintaining that they didn't know that osama bin laden was hiding just below -- you know, just a couple dozen miles away from the capital? >> i think where the pakistani military will spin this is they are now very much in the front line. i've always said they are the main target, they are the main people sacrificing themselves in the war against militancy and ensure this particular horrific loss today will be used as further evidence that the major blood loss and the sacrifices being felt on the part of pakistan. that's the argument they make when people say that the pakistani military are somehow playing a double game here. assisting militants, perhaps bin laden, no evidence of that, while at the same time they're claiming they're hunting down militants. the huge losses today, as it was for the militants to back up that particular argument. >> it comes under an hour from now, the pakistani military officials will be facing the parliamentary grilling. they'll be answering questions about how al qaeda -- i guess how they were managing to hide out in their country for so long. what can we expect? >> this is happening in camera. closed to the media. and so it will be to the press afterwards. but they're using it to try to justify the behavior, justify the launch to the u.s. so far. the blast couldn't have come at a particular worst time. and military here is already heavily backed. many pakistanis for a long time see them too close, too subservient to the u.s. that might translate the day for the bloodshed we've seen. i think possibly a strategic risk of this is that it might go a little in the offensive and focusing their anger on the u.s. and we can see a bad relationship with washington and islamabad to try to salvage image and pride from the horrendous blast and also the last few weeks. monita. >> thank you so much. you're watching world one. 2011 may well be -- 2010 may well be remembered as the year the arab world goes up for human rights. after half a century of work, abuses are wide spread. amnesty international names and shames it worst human rights offenders when we come back. and a little later, two talks. the u.s. defense chief wants to know who leakled secret detaed raid amid new retaliation fears. you'll save 100 calories a day. that could help you lose up to 10 pounds in a year. that's how splenda® is sweet...and more. there's another way to minimize litter box odor: purina tidy cats. our premium litters now work harder to help neutralize odors in multiple cat homes. purina tidy cats. keep your home smelling like home. glowing. -smooth. -flawless.

i'm too old. don't kill me? >> amnesty human rights report is being released as the organization prepares to mark the 15th anniversary. joined in the studio by the head of international amnesty. thank you for being with us. this is a time of unprecedented change. it comes at such a high price. >> absolutely. celebrating the 15th anniversary. great personal risk in which the people in north africa have stood up against the dictators. also youth. very young people are using social media. so, places that people talked about not being able to stand up for their rights. it's incredible. explored the myths of human rights that human rights is not compatible with islam. a lot of women coming out in the streets. ama amazing. >> this is part of the pun here that a double edged sword for what you do. you want to promote human rights and promote democracy and freedom. you know as a result of that what's happening. we look at countries like syria right now. looking at libya and what had happened in egypt. people are killed, detained, missing. >> they recall in the report the situation of being a knife edge. you have a real repression being faced by the human rights defenders. but the important thing is for amnesty international, ordinary people coming together to do extraordinary things. dictators all in the report have a bad year. we're celebrating that. it's true that the international community have lessons to learn from this. but they have propped up many of the dictatorships. they hope going forward that they're going to think twice before going to short term optimistic alliances. as we speak now, the situation in syria is bad. we called for the international referral from the security council. that's not happening. the richest countries in the world shouldn't have double standards. >> it's one of the richest in the world that are profulgating, many people without the legal system, you single out the u.s. in that. >> the u.s. and iran are the worst perpetrators of the death penalty. good news, the states -- the u.s. is made up of different states. illinois is the 16th state to outlaw death penalty. globally, good news, 139 countries do not practice execution death penalty anymore. >> what do you think the legacy is 50 year now 15 years of amnesty international. dictators are doing whatever they want to do. governments are doing what they want to do. are they taking seriously reports like this? >> i think it's difficult for even the most aggressive dictators to ignore the calls anymore. we have been able to release thousands of prisoners across the world. and dictators like pinochet, the most iconic dictators have held in account over time. so, of course, the report says there's a long way to go. but it's people following and there's young people signing up for the rights and not just rights for freedom of expression which is a big part of the report. but also right to employment and adequate housing, these things coming together. that's where the future is. so we are very optimistic in our 50th year. and i think the relevance is going to keep growing, particularly in the middle east, north africa, and for women. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. stay with us here on world one. former world number one tiger woods suffers another setback as he struggles to regain his form on the course. we have the details next. plus -- >> owners -- >> reporting from a danger zone of sorts. the camera wanted his time in the limelight and wouldn't let anyone stand in its way. maybe it was the red jacket. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ by giving me huge discounts on rooms hotels can't always fill. with unpublished rates. which means i get an even more rockin' hotel, for less. where you book matters. expedia. the authentic, the rare, the hard to define. to those always searching for what's pure and what's real from we who believe we know just how you feel. haagen-dazs. aflac! oh, i've just got major medical... major medical. ...but it helps pay the doctors. pays the doctors, boyyy!

>> ivan watson in lapeduza in italy. rort gates is promising extra protection for the navy s.e.a.l.s who killed osama bin laden in pakistan. some voiced concern about the possible retaliation against themselves and their families in a meeting on thursday with marines in the u.s. state of north carolina, the defense chief wondered who spilled the beans on the raid's secret details. >> a week ago sunday in the situation room, we all agreed that we would not release any operational details in the effort to take out bin laden. that all fell apart on monday, the next day. the one thing i will say is there's been effort to protect those who participate in the raid. i think that has to continue. we are very concerned about the security of our families, of your families, and our troops. also the elite units that are engage in things like that. >> as the fallout from the raid that killed bin laden continues, another point that's getting attention is the legality of the raid itself. see what newspapers around the world are saying about that. australia has a headline. bin laden kill was legal, but we need to get the story straight. it goes on to say that it's quickly becoming apparent that the "who cares" retort will not wash. washington must establish a proper legal basis for having killed bin lad up. the irish times has this headline. bin laden killing was not an assassination. the article says there's virtually no public debate about summary execution, the u.s. opinion is divided on the question of torture. since bin laden's death, former members of the bush administration have repeatedly claimed that waterboarding and other methods practiced by the cia enabled the u.s. to locate and kill him. and from the uae, gulf news has this headline, rule of law or law of the jungle. goes on to say that the killing of bin laden sends a brutal message to the world that the execution of america's enemies takes precedence over any consideration of morality or international law. one issue, read all of the facebook articles at world one.cnn. the art world is standing up for human rights in china. more on the calls as the exhibitions open in london without him. that story is next.

in this case, i don't comment on the art, i comment on the courage of the artist, doing what he's done which is seen as being provocative. but i believe his position is enormously courageous. so i would focus on the courage and this -- this question of freedom of expression, free speech and talking about issues that he finds extremely important. but when you speak about start to think like that, then his words, the decoration, we're not talking about decoration in this case. >> talk to me about slow walk, your works? >> slow walk is a -- i'm a walking artist. everything i make is about walking. so this is consistent with my practice. slow walk was made after a discussion with tate so i could present a public walk on the ramp of it is opposite to his sun flower seeds. the idea there is i would join what i normally do and the title is called slow walk because literally people were walking slowly. but the next line on the title is in support of ai wei wei. this was for people to come forward and walk themselves. so i say this walk is an artwork and that the participant, the walking participant is also the viewer of the work. so politically or emotionally or which ever way you would like to describe it, people could contribute to that. they could walk themselves as opposed to a work of art on the ground or the floor, you become part of the art work. you were contributing in this expression of solidarity and support for ai wei-wei. >> you live in different worlds. the privilege of living in a country that you can act how you want. how does it affect what you do?
